The Woman's Athletic Club was the first women's athletic club west of Chicago when it opened in 1917
and as the largest such club in the country after its expansion in 1923. It was also the catalyst
for the emergence of a women's club district in the 1920s - a concentration of several of the
most important women's organizations in San Francisco.
